here's a sample of romney at what many thereafter said was his best performance. >> mr. speaker, i'm not anti-immigrant. my father was born in mexico. my wife's father was born in wales. they came to this country. the idea that i'm anti-immigrant is repulsive. don't use a term like that. megyn: is that the guy we're likely to see show up this week? because that, of course, was with the great debate coach who then got let go by the romney camp. >> we'll see. i still think you don't want to be responding, you want to be laying out your views, and you want to be prosecuting the president. he needs to go in there with the mind of a tough-minded district attorney who's trying to prosecute the guy who he wants to be on trial, not defending himself. megyn: the two harvard law school graduates, romney also was a harvard mba, will square off and try to tell americans that they're very relatable.

both candidates are seriously down playing expectations for their debate performances, but mitt romney has a few zingers in his back pocket and he's been practicing those zingers for over a month. president obama says, hey, i'm not going to do zingers, i'm going to talk to that guy on the couch. joining me to talk debate strategy, our cnn contributor maria cardona and republican strategist matt tyree. i'm going to start with you, maria, because word on the street is mitt romney's been practicing zingers since august. do zingers really work? >> it's going to be interesting, carol. because, sure, they could work to, i guess, underscore who won the night and who won the debate. but will it work to actually be a game-changer for this campaign? that's certainly going to be up to the voters. i think mitt romney needs to be careful with that because the more that you practice a zinger, the more apt you're going to be to actually zing it. and i think what romney really needs to show is he's a likable guy and he's got to be aggressive. that's a very delicate balance. and he's going to have to a
